Warning! Comic book geekery ahead!

So really, only Johnny will get this.

So.

Marvel's Civil War mega-uber-crossover finishes.

To sum up...

Captain America cries and quits. After being tackled by the 9-11 heroes. And seeing collateral damage.

[Despite having fought through WWII and wrecking the Marvel Universe on an almost daily basis.]

Iron Man/Tony Stark - "I'm kinda a fascist tool. I win! Yay!"

Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic writes the worst love letters ever.

New Marvel Universe status quo for heroes - work for the government or Go To Jail in Otherdimensional Space Gitmo.

Wow, does that conclusion ever suck. Hard.

You know, DC's mega-uber-crossover Infinite Crisis was bringing the barely-holding-it-together-crazy at it's conclusion too, but nothing this awful.

It's not enough that my country seems prepared to hand over every available freedom for some false semblance of security... but now the heroes in my comic books, too?

Jesus, is that ever disappointing.

On the other hand, a great comic, with some serious surprises and well done character moments was the wrap up of the Ralph Dibny - "I'm a detective." - Elongated Man storyline in 52 last week. Comic book-ing awesomeness, that was.
